Hi,
I have a YouTube channel and want to put my Amazon affiliate links in the description of the videos.
I have already signed up on different countries for Amazon affiliate and have linked my accounts.
How can I use one link on YouTube to link to different stores based on the user?
The only (paid) solution I have found so far is "Geniuslink", but I don't like there pay plan (it is based on clicks)
So I have an idea of a walk around but need some experts on WordPress if this is actually working or not.
So my idea is to setup a website with WordPress and the OneClick code that you have to put into the website and use a Plugin like "Short Links".
So my setup would end like this:
1. I make a new plane page called "Linkindex" and put the Amazon OneLink code into the header or wherever I have to put it.
2. I list my real Amazon Affiliate links on that page.
3. I create a short link that links to the affiliate link on my page.
4. I put the short link into the video description.
Do you think that would work, or is there already another solution out there?
What is your opinion?

So, if you have signed up to all 8 countries, then you will need to make 24 sales in 180 days. Otherwise, you will be removed from the program for whichever countries you failed to meet the target.
Secondly, you cannot redirect to an Amazon link. A customer has to find the link directly on your page, without being redirected to it. This is specifically mentioned in their program policy.
"Disqualified purchases; any Product purchased by a customer who is referred to an Amazon Site by a link that sends users indirectly to an Amazon Site via an intermediate site"
Amazon has some of the lowest commission rates with some of the strictest rules.

1. I link all Amazon accounts that I have signed up to, with amazon.com. I did that.
2. I can now create links on amazon.com and this links should redirect the customer to there nearest amazon shop.
so I created the link on amazon.com and shared that link, but the link only link to amazon.com and not to ca, uk or Germany. How I am supposed to make sales when the amazon link is not working?
I have a website with 10.000 views a month with international traffic and a YouTube channel with 150.000 views a month.
You also need Amazon's correctly worded affiliate disclosure on each page that has affiliate links or you will be banned from their program. Take a look at this training. Affiliate Disclosures, FTC Guidelines, and Amazon Rules Don't forget all their other rules as well, such as not mentioning the price of the product and only using the one image they supply you with, which must be inserted using their HTML code.
I will have a look and try to get some sales next week. Now I have to take a break.
I was so motivated, but nothing worked as planned today.
Your visitors may land on your pages to make an informed decision based on the content that you provided and whether to click your links if they serve a purpose, a solution to their issue.
You would normally include an affiliate link to every 500 words written. That's quality rich content with a good choice of keywords addressing issues related to your niche.
You still then can divert customers to YouTube or other stores and even your own..
Was that helpful?
I don't want to use that page to make it public or generate any attention.
The only propose of the page should be to transfer a click on a link on YouTube to the right Amazon store of the user.
Example:
I have a YouTube video about cat nip and I want to put a link of cat nip on Amazon in the video description.
In the video description I put a short link that directs the click to my WordPress page and from there (because there is the OneClick code) the link will be directed to the right store.
That is my theory, but would that work?
